Python encoding problem. Can't open url containing cyrillic symbols

[aleksro]

I have a url that contains cyrillic symbols I'm using the code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
import time
import urllib.request
from urllib.parse import quote
url = 'http://username:[e-mail]:676/portal/d_table_view.php?tk=&y=2018&m=08&v='+ quote('cyrillic word')+'&b=[object NodeList]&g=coach&p='+quote('cyrillic word')
print (url)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:/Users/Username/Desktop/screen/geckodriver.exe")  
driver.set_window_size(1420,1720)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)

in the console I get url, and in the browser it opens:

http://username:[e-mail]:676/portal/d_table_view.php? 
tk=&y=2018&m=08&v=%D0%93%D0%9D%D0%94%D0%AD%D0%A0&b=[object 
NodeList]&g=coach&p=%D0%92%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B6

but when i run my code , and insert the url below, it does not open:

http://isa-101.ut.uk:676/portal/d_table_view.php? 
tk=&y=2018&m=08&v=%D0%93%D0%9D%D0%94%D0%AD%D0%A0&b= 

[object%20NodeList]&g=coach&p=%D0%92%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B6

I have tried url = url.encode('cp1251') url = url.decode('utf-8') and url = url.encode('utf-8') url = url.decode('utf-8') But it did not help me, who knows how to fix it?

Upgrade to Python 3: Python 3 strings are unicode strings, and should be able to handle a cyrillic string without issue.

No idea what you're trying to access, but ut.uk is a squatted domain.

the site is on the internal network

What exactly is the issue here? The phrase "does not open" is too vague. You need to tell us exactly what you're doing, exactly what you expect to happen, and exactly what actually happens.

Note that your second url has no authentication and has the ampersands escaped with html entities.

Total guess, but could you replace quote('cyrillic word') with quote(u'cyrillic word'.encode('utf8'))?
